One of his two worst moments, in my book, were when he attacked Huckabee for saying the administration has an “arrogant bunker mentality” on the same day he, himself, had said, “We have too much of a ‘it’s our way or the highway’ attitude as we go around the world.” The other came when he denied that he had ever accused McCain of supporting an amnesty. It was both wimpy–he pulled back from making an accurate criticism of the senator–and untrue: His campaign puts out a press release pretty much by the hour saying (correctly) that McCain has supported amnesty.

Going forward, I wonder if Romney should look for an opportunity tonight to make an issue of the pass McCain gets from the media and, perhaps, the media’s dislike for him. He would have to do it without looking whiny, but it might have some effect on Republican voters. (And Romney is going to have to count on Obama to hold down McCain’s total among independents.)
